Protected areas (PAs) represent a central strategy in biodiversity conservation worldwide. Yet many PAs are weakened by people-PA conflicts resulting from the separation of natural resource protection from human considerations. Research at Masoala National Park in Madagascar focused on the following questions: (1) What are the factors that influence residents' perceptions of the Park and restrictions on use of natural resources in the Park area? (2) How do residents of communities on the periphery of the Park perceive and interact with Park staff, and what factors influence interactions and perceptions? A multi-method qualitative research approach was taken, including individual and focus group interviews, participant observation, archival research, and an environmental education and communication workshop. From July to December 2001, 119 semi-structured individual and group interviews were conducted with a total of 181 Masoala National Park staff, employees of non-governmental conservation organizations and community residents, focusing on two villages on the periphery of Masoala National Park. Factors found to influence the perceptions of the Park held by residents living in the Park periphery included the history of Park management, the degree of awareness of Park existence, types of interactions with Park staff and actual or potential benefits received from the Park. Inconsistency in past and present Park management goals has led to community confusion regarding the Park programme. Residents were largely aware of the Park's existence but were unfamiliar with its goals. Pressures on Park natural resources came from a variety of sources and occurred across a range of spatial and temporal scales, some of which were outside the control of Park managers. A conceptual framework represented relations between Park staff and community residents. Understanding people-PA interactions and perceptions can help guide future PA management strategies to increase conservation effectiveness, through efforts such as environmental education and communication programmes.

Conflict can’t be separated from the activity of community life and both are integrated. Humans will make efforts in order to fulfil their needs, including in terms of natural resources. Conservation areas or better known as the national park is one of the areas most prone to conflict over natural resources. This study aimed to analyze the reality of conflict, the factors causing conflicts, the impact of conflict, the relationship of factors causing conflict with the intensity of emerging conflict and the forms of conflict resolution in the park area. This research is quantitative research was supported by qualitative data with the instrument questionnaires and in-depth interview guide. The problem between farmers and the park is caused by the change of status of Perhutani area into Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. This transformation changed the rules of the people who initially worked on the land in the region to be stalled. The conflicts natural resource issues until 2016 increasingly complex due to intimidation received by farmers every year. In resolving conflicts, researchers provide the idea of Community Based Conflict Management (CBCM) as a method of reducing conflict.Keywords: Analysis of conflict, natural resources, national parksABSTRAKKonflik tidak bisa dipisahkan dari aktivitas kehidupan bermasyarakat dan keduanya saling berintegrasi. Manusia akan melakukan berbagai usaha agar kebutuhan hidupnya dapat tercukupi termasuk dalam hal sumberdaya alam. Kawasan konservasi atau yang lebih dikenal dengan sebagai taman nasional merupakan salah satu daerah yang paling rawan terjadi konflik sumberdaya alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis realitas konflik, faktor-faktor penyebab konflik, hubungan faktor-faktor penyebab konflik dengan intensitas konflik emerging dan gagasan penyelesaian konflik di kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif didukung oleh data kualitatif dengan instrumen kuesioner dan panduan wawancara mendalam. Permasalahan antara petani penggarap dengan pihak taman nasional disebabkan oleh adanya perubahan status kawasan Perhutani menjadi Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango. Perubahan ini merubah landasan pijak masyarakat yang awalnya menggarap lahan di kawasan menjadi terhenti. Konflik permasalahan sumber daya alam hingga Tahun 2016 semakin kompleks akibat adanya intimidasi yang diterima petani setiap tahunnya. Dalam menyelesaikan konflik, peneliti memberikan gagasan Manajemen Konflik Berbasis Komunitas (CBCM) sebagai metode peredam konflik.Kata Kunci: Analisis konflik, sumberdaya alam, taman nasional

Radical Shift

<p class="BodyA"><em>I</em><em>n this paper we argue that an educational ideology, based on an epistemology of power and consumerism, has become embedded within the structural foundations of Western Education. The combination of a power-based epistemology which informs curriculum design on the one hand, coupled with a consumerist educational ideology of universal commodification on the other, have served to provide the basis for a persuasive but pernicious philosophy of nature. Virtually every relationship we have with nature, and in turn with each other, is reduced to a saleable item for exchange. The radical shift in socio-cultural perspective which has resulted from what we call an </em><em>“ideo-epistemic pedagogy</em><em>” has been both monumental and inimical to the ostensible goals of environmental education. Motivated by an ideology in which knowledge is construed as a “form of power”, and linked to relentless economic consumption, contemporary environmental education will simply reproduce, albeit in beguilingly inferential ways, the same contextual dynamics of technological invasiveness and mindless expropriation of natural resources that continue to lead ineluctably, and almost imperceptibly to the decimation and degradation of nature.</em></p>

The Impact

AbstractEnvironmental management or stewardship is one area of environmental philosophy which has achieved a degree of acceptability in development decision-making. Its success is a product of its characteristics, e.g. that of taking a generally moderate approach to what causes an environmental problem, and of working for change through traditional channels. However, even stewardship is not without internal divisions, divisions which reflect differing views about the degree of change needed to avoid ecological disaster. Stewardship may be a useful environmental philosophy at a time when the development ethos (jobs, income, growth, productivity) predominates. But this paper poses the question, is it the best philosophy possible at this time? Finally, the impact of this philosophy on education is considered, highlighting the two aspects of what stewardship sees in environmental education and what environmental education could do about stewardship.

In this study, the impact of Madhupur National Park on local peoples’ livelihoods was assessed. To find local peoples perception on collaborative natural resources management. This study was conducted from July, 2012 to December, 2012 on two villages named Talki and Sholakuri. Data collection was based on stratified random sample. Stratification was based on park proximity of respondent households that is (inside park) 0 km, 0.5 km distance, 1 km distance, 1.5 km distance and 2 km distance from Madhupur National Park boundary. The five strata were compared with respect to household’s natural resource dependency, household’s income, income diversification, income level, assets and perception on present management system. Present management system was also discussed to emphasize park management authority contribution on local livelihood. Based on analysis of collected data from two villages it was assumed that the nearest people were more dependent on natural resource of park than far people. The simple correlation coefficient for the distance of household with natural resource dependency was negatively significant. Household average monthly incomes in two villages were approximately same but Talki villagers were 79.25% depend on park related activity and this dependency decreased with increasing of distance. Present park management system plays an important role to reduce people and park animosity by providing aid and training to the local offensive persons and involve them into park conservation. A trend analysis of decreasing forest offences represented that, the present management system is better than past time and it could be able to reduce people park animosity.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i2.14603 J.

The creation of rational nature management systems meets the needs of society and the necessary level of reproduction of natural resources and environmental protection.  This is the main goal of the strategies for sustainable development of the regions. An integrated approach to assessing natural resource potential necessarily includes an economic assessment of the maximum possible number of environmental services. It forms the basis for territorial and sectoral planning. Protected natural areas have not only valuable biosphere resources, but also unique natural, historical and cultural opportunities for recreational activities. The territory of Tunkinsky National Park, located in the Republic of Buryatia in Russia, completely coincides with the borders of Tunkinsky administrative district of the Republic of Buryatia. Conflicts in the use of natural resources occur between the need to ensure the protection of nature and the development of economic activities. Using the example of Tunkinsky National Park, the role of a territory that is hardly affected by human economic activity, which provides ecologically important conditions for the life of society, is determined in monetary terms.

The Makalu-Barun National Park (MBNP) and its Buffer Zone (BZ) of eqastern Nepal shares is borders with Sagarmatha National Park on the west and with the Qomolongma Natural Preserve of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China on the North. The Park is rich in cultural diversity with many ethnic groups. Most of the households are economically poor and depend on subsistence agriculture, animal husbandry and diverse natural resources for livelihoods. Slash and burn cultivation on steep slopes, poaching, hunting, over grazing, high dependency on natural resources, poverty and food deficits are the main threats to biodiversity in MBNP and BZ area. The MBNP was established in 1991 while its BZ was declared in 1998. the basic underlying approach of protection and management of the Park and its BZ is biodiversity conservation through people participation, without relying on military force. This paper highlights the implementation of the biodiversity conservation and management approaches through people participation in the MBNP and its BZ, and also explores notable achievements and effectiveness of partnership of the Government of Nepal, the Mountain Institute (TMI) – an INGO and the local communities to sustain conservation efforts as well as to improve local livelihoods.
